I'm trying to use method attributes to get a certain behaviour with some syntactic sugar. Like, for example: ---%<--- sub do_heavy_work :Forks { return heavy_thinking(); } --->%--- ... getting this one to fork. I have the surrounding stuff already, i.e. a certain accessor method that takes the name of the instance method as parameter and calls it in the fashion of "$instance->$method_name(@params)". I'd like to check in the accessor method whether the sub I'm about to call has the ":Forks" attribute and do a fork before actually calling it if it has.
